Product Description
Echoes, April, 1980
Now with ska back in fashion, the time is right for Marshall to tell the story of the first ska rebirth. It's a story of the first ska rebirth. It's a story he tells with flair and commitment, and one which deserves to be widely read.
Sounds, May, 1980
George Marshall's book follows the fortunes of Coventry's Tamla Motown from its inception to the present day (well, Nelson Mandella's release) with a fan's eye to detail . . . As an epitaph, The Two Tone Story is similar to the label's music - fast, involving and tinged with realism.

This Are Two Tone!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Two Tone Story (Paperback)
I've been collecting 2 Tone records since first hearing The Prince on Top Of The Pops, and have been trying to get this book for ages. Great to see it published again - and in a square format! It is full of detail on the label and its bands - including TONS of stuff I just didn't know (and I thought I knew a lot about 2 Tone!). So if you love ska, you'll love it!

Black & White Unite,
By Arthur Daley "Arthur Daley" (LONDON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Two Tone Story (Paperback)
Two-tone SKA music was the most powerful youth cult of all-time preaching love and peace between the races.
As Poet Joey Teen said "United is the thing to be - thing how strong we can be UNITED against nazi society" We can all subscribe to that. Two tone had great clothes, great music and a fantastic message.

Two Tone Sides to Every story,
This review is from: The Two Tone Story (Paperback)
George Marshal's `The Two Tone Story' is essential reading for anyone interested in the good ship Two Tone and all who sailed on her, not just for the accuracy of the story as told by George but also because it is written with the love and perfect understanding of a true fan rather than a journalist giving us a story. The Two Tone Story is not just the story of the bands but also of the badge covered Harrington and Sta' Pressed wearing fans of whom both George and I could claim to be amongst.
Reading this book gives me two stories, the story of a record label ran by a maverick set of musicians on co-operative lines (at least at first; cocaine lines may have eventually de-railed it) but also the story of myself and the gang of friends who hung around the Halton youth club in the early eighties. The Specials, Madness and The Beat definitely left me Ska'd for life and this book celebrates those heavy days in a way no one whom never wore a black and white cheque button badge could ever understand. The good people at Chrysalis were as impressed as me and included the book in `The Compact Two Tone Story' box set when they first made these beautiful 7" discs of plastic first available on CD. This Are Two Tone; This our Two Tone.
